With that in mind, and considering Virtanen plays for the Hitmen, maybe he's ranking him in the 40s because the Flames scouts (Todd) aren't high on him.

Given that history suggests Button does talk with his brother when making these lists it is interesting to note that Perlini is rising on his list. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on.
Draisaitl seems to have put himself in contention for the top 4. It is almost shaping up like last year where Mackinnon, Barkov, Drouin and Jones were almost a toss up. Sounds like there is not much consensus and that all of Reinhart, Ekblad, Bennett and Draisaitl may be ranked 1st by various teams. Dal Colle seems to be a favourite for 5th right now.
As usual the playoffs and Mem Cup will have a big effect on the rankings as those are the crunch times. Gonna be interesting to watch things shake out.
